Romance is in the air when the beat drops for Lagos' Detty December. Fiyin is convinced her best friend Elo is the love of her life, but is shocked when he returns home for the holidays with a secret fiancée. Gbemi is torn between her boyfriend and an old flame, while London-raised Ivie seeks a wild holiday but doesn’t count on falling for Ajani.

A pattern of intolerance has been omnipresent throughout history. Echoing the chiaroscuro paintings of Caravaggio, the tumbling hordes of angels by Peter Paul Rubens, and the iconography of conflicts during the civil rights movement, here come blows of extraordinarily public transgressions where brutality and injustice lead the charge. It is a crime to take someone‘s wings.
